1t is indeed sad to chronicle the
death OF one so worthy and uni
versally admired as the subject o!
this sketch. The old men who we're
the early settlers Of this county and
did the work Of opening up the will
derness and establishing society and
civilization are fast disappearing.
Mr. Patrick has been citizen OF
this county since 1857, and his social
relations with communities in which
he has lived has heen a distinguish
ing trait Of his character. In oil re.
lati0ns Of life among his family and
friends he enjoyed the utmost con-
fidence, and his death leaves va
cancy that will hereafter cause a
pang ofregret that one 80 worthy
has been taken away. His remains
wsrc inferred 10 Pisgah cemetery
yesterday. The heart felt sympathy
OF the DEMOCRAT is extended to the
bereaved family and relatives.
